• support public_repo scope #1830

📝 Description

I'm not 100% sure this is a bug but on my account, I'm not receiving notifications anymore. When I go Accounts, I have a red warning sign, and the tooltip displays "This account is missing one or more required scopes [read:user, notifications, repo]", I've allowed this amount of access: read:user, notifications, but only public_repo under "repo", because I don't want to give access to all of the other things. Could this be the reason, I'm not getting notifications anymore?

I've tried refreshing my PAT and adding it to Gitify and I've tried logging out and in again to Gitify.

Also, prior to seeing this message, the "G" turned Red (thank you for this 🙂), I got a message like "Something went wrong" but that disappeared (it would be nice if that message stuck around and was a bit more detailed).

🪜 Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to Accounts
2. Hover over red warning sign

Hi @techncl - I recreated the above scenario this morning with a PAT (notification, read:user, public_repo).

Gitify was still able to retrieve public notifications in this state

I'm not sure what else might be preventing you from receiving notifications 🤔

Hi @setchy, weirdly enough, I received this notification via Gitify. I wonder if it has something to do with the accounts that I'm expecting notifications from having SSO on them, although they are authorised and I was receiving notifications from them until v6.0.0; it's a mystery. Thank you for your help. Maybe it will just start working again; I'll post here if it does, with what I did to get it working again.

I was wondering if the warning message could be changed then. Maybe it could be orange since red is usually a sign something is not working/broken and/or the message could be changed because "missing" makes it seem like it's mandatory to have all of these.

Thanks again!

Just to confirm, it's working now without me doing anything; I still have the warning on my account though.

Created #1830 to update our support for public_repo scopes vs our expected repo scope
